The next-generation tank could run with only 2 crew members, a gunner and a driver.
It could also feature enhanced information ability and fire performance, indirect aiming and shooting ability and aerial target interception.
The main battle tank will be equipped with a target detecting device connected to a command-and-attack network and numerous command systems and sensors from which the tank will receive real-time target information.
China’s next-generation tank will be a lightweight vehicle with good strategic mobile capacity facilitating rapid deployment on the battlefield.
